Re: NRA Endorses Dade Phelan

Can someone give me a breakdown on the worst firearms votes and pushes Phelan has made? I know he made those dumb comments about Texas 'needing a tough conversation' about gun rights and gun control, but that comment was in the wake of Uvalde and he didn't collapse to any demands I see, even the ra...

Canceled my life membership with the NRA, yes, that how strongly I feel about their endorsement of Phelan.
Will switch to GOA.

NRA Endorses Dade Phelan

I see the NRA has endorsed Dade Phelan.
So, convince me why I should not call the NRA and cancel my life time membership.
I don't think I need to go into any detail regarding RINO Phelan.

Re: What gun related gifts did you receive?

My wife and I just let each other know what we would like.
So I picked some Ranger Precision accessories for my Henry X in 44 mag.
Muzzle brake, hammer extension, stock take down thumb screw.

Re: Bud Light $14.99 get a $15 rebate no takers

Earlier today I passed by a local gas station, there was a AB tractor trailer and a small Bud Light van parked at the staton. They were not making a delivery that I could discern. Looked like they were hauling off product.

Re: Texas AG Ken Paxton impeachment

i and several others in my local group have been in touch with Ben Bumgartner, our House rep who voted in favor of the impeachment. I called his office along with scores of others, asking for him to vote against impeachment. He didn't. And that wasn't surprising. For the recent election where Rep B...

Re: Texas AG Ken Paxton impeachment

20 charges.
No evidence, no sworn witnesses.
A kangaroo court.
Notified lynn Stucky that he will never again receive my vote.
Just a RINO.

Re: Fiocchi Ammo Return

Sent 14 boxes ( 25 per box) back to Fiocchi.
They confirmed the issue, sent me 20 replacement boxes.
Very good customer service IMO.

Re: Fiocchi Ammo Return

...Regarding the issue on my original post; the Fiocchi rounds would have passed a case gauge test, but the bullets were not seated deep enough. I would have needed to measure the COL. Perhaps I should begin sampling factory ammo. Spot checking could miss bad rounds. Removing the barrel and ensurin...

Re: Fiocchi Ammo Return

Yes, I use Hornandy case gauges for all of the pistol calibers that I reload, and LE Wilson’s for rifle calibers ( after sizing ) and I check COL when setting up seating dies. But never used them on factory ammo. Regarding the issue on my original post; the Fiocchi rounds would have passed a case ga...

Re: Fiocchi Ammo Return

Thanks for the stories. I assume it is an uncommon occurrence with factory ammo to have issues, but not unheard of. When reloading, I case gauge each case after I resize it, and then case gauge it again after loading and crimping. So, what are everyone’s thoughts about reloading your own defensive a...

Fiocchi Ammo Return

Here is an interesting story. I purchased some Fiocchi 9mm XTP 147 gr ammo.from Midway. It was on sale and I think I got a pretty good deal. It was for our church safety team to use and we wanted to make sure it would cycle through everyone’s firearm Out of the 10 that were at the range, two had fir...

Re: IF You Could Only Have One Gun

A Wilson or other high end 1911.
The reason is that I am most confident in my ability with a 1911 than any other type.
It’s what I was raised with.

Just read this on Zerohedge (I normally read Zerohedge for financial information): Meanwhile, in a surprise move on Monday, the Texas House Select Committee on Community Safety voted 8-5 to advance a bill that would make it illegal for Texans under age 21 to buy "certain semiautomatic rifles,&q...
